Discover How The Powerful Ingredient Hyaluronic Acid Benefits Skin

Ahh, it’s one of those long, confusing words again. I think the funny thing about this one, is that it sounds super daunting and almost harmful. When in fact, it’s the total opposite. It is actually surprising how much Hyaluronic Acid benefits skin! I thought I would put together another skincare blog post, full of information to help you guys feel more comfortable in the skincare department. So you can get more hands-on and creative with your daily routine. Making sure you have the most effective and fun regime possible!

Call me crazy but I think that skincare is not only majorly interesting but also really satisfying as well. There is nothing better than seeing results from your hard work. It’s kind of like going to the gym, not that I have much experience lately! The minute you see changes/results, that’s when it becomes worthwhile and you’ll be eager to explore more. One of my true passions when it comes to being a skincare specialist is helping others achieve their skincare goals. That is why I’m always sharing these snippets of info with you guys. Hoping you’ll become as excited about skincare as I am! As always, feel free to ask me ANYTHING. It’s my pleasure answering your questions and queries on skincare!

I can’t wait to fill you guys in on all the deets about how Hyaluronic Acid benefits skin. I hope you’ve got your lab coat ready because we are about to get scientific. (Beauty isn’t always about red lipstick and popping highlight, although I LOVE that part and always will, sometimes we have to get a little bit techy and educated about other factors that play a big role).

What is Hyaluronic Acid?

Hyaluronic Acid is a moisture-binding molecule that helps keep the skin hydrated, glowing and also looking plump! Winner. This is the most important factor of Hyaluronic Acid is its incredible ability for retaining moisture within our skin. Just one molecule alone can hold over 1,000 times its own weight in water! Impressive.

Bizarrely, Hyaluronic Acid naturally exists inside the human body, on average we have around 15 grams of it. But as we age, we produce less and less of this acid. Therefore, lots of skincare brands have added this acid to their products. Especially antiageing ranges. Giving us the products we need to boost our levels of Hyaluronic acid. Which will, in turn, help our skin to retain more water once again! Magical…

How Hyaluronic Acid Benefits Skin?

I found some brilliant information whilst doing a little research on the Dermalogica website.

‘Scientific studies have shown that Hyaluronic Acid helps to improve skin hydration and production of collagen, fight free radicals, maintain skin elasticity, and even has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that help with wound healing.’

Science aside, and if you are still with me and not confused. We need Hyaluronic acid in our skin to keep as much moisture as possible/as much as our skin needs. This will help to keep our skin looking beautifully hydrated, glowing, radiant and all that other good stuff.

Think of it like this, Hyaluronic acid acts like a sponge, retaining a large amount of water. This will then plump out any fine lines, wrinkles etc. Making our skin look more youthful. As if that wasn’t good enough, it will be acting as a 2-in-1 by giving our skin intense hydration, so we won’t be looking dull or lacklustre. This explains so much on how hyaluronic acid benefits skin!

Which Products Contain Hyaluronic Acid?

Although I’ve studied skincare for years, I still find it quite complicated talking about cells and molecules etc, so I hope I’m making this sound quite simple for you guys to understand. I remember taking my first few skincare classes and wondering what on earth the Stratum Granulosum was. Don’t ask! However, to my surprise, I learned very quickly that it’s not a Harry Potter spell, that’s for sho’!

Now we know what Hyaluronic Acid is and what it does. I’m sure you would all like to know how you can implement this into your daily skincare routines. I would also like to share my experience with this molecule/ingredient.

Here is a short list of some of my favourite skincare products containing Hyaluronic Acid and how/when I use them.

I discovered this serum a few months ago and I fell in love with it straight away. After a few times of using it, I could see a change in my skin. It has been perfect in the winter months to keep my skin hydrated. I use this in the evenings, just before I apply moisturiser!

This is one of my favourite skincare products at the mo! I pop this cream/gel around my eyes before I go to bed. It is brilliant at minimising dark circles, fine lines and any puffiness you may get around your eyes.

You guys have probably seen this product on my social media accounts. This is my favourite drugstore moisturiser by far. I love how it feels on my skin, I love the scent and most of all, I love the results. It is SO hydrating and I couldn’t be without it now. I use this every morning just before I put my makeup on and it creates a flawless base too!

I hope you guys now feel confident turning to the back of your skincare products in the department store and checking for this powerful ingredient. Knowing now how Hyaluronic Acid Benefits Skin. Certainly no need to be afraid if you see those words in the ingredients list! I think a lot of people think that the word acid means it will make your skin peel, luckily it does the exact opposite!

Love this! I always include products with hyalauronic acid as they play such an important part in my skincare routine. I’ve heard lots of good things about the Dragons blood serum, I might have to try it next.

Interesting – I’ve actually never heard of hyaluronic acid but then again, I am quite lazy when it comes to skincare. It’s something I was to get more into – so will definitely look into this a bit more!

Great post – very enlightening and I don’t know why but I hadn’t heard of the Soap & Glory speed plump moisturiser but it looks great and I will definitely check it out. I have used the Nip + Fab Dragon’s Blood serum and love that. Lucy xx
